Evolving restaurant risk management

In 2020, the restaurant industry has had to pivot constantly with ever-changing local, state and national guidelines with COVID-19. Gallagher has been there every step of the way as many restaurants have had to change their service models from in-room dining to carry-out and delivery. We have worked with customers to ensure their policies can meet these new service and risks.
